Why to Convert
The EPUB format is a popular format for e-books, and is widely used for digital publications. However, the format is not compatible with Microsoft Excel, which is the most popular spreadsheet application.

What is EPUB File Format?
An EPUB file, also known as an Open eBook File, is a standardized format developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). It is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and XHTML (eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language). EPUB files are designed for reading digital books and publications on various electronic devices such as e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.
EPUB files consist of three main components. The first component is the spine, which contains the main text of the book and defines the order in which the pages should be read. It provides the structural framework for the content.
The second component is the manifest, which serves as a catalog of all the files that make up the EPUB book. This includes the spine, cover image, table of contents, and any additional content. The manifest ensures that all the necessary files are properly linked and organized within the EPUB package.
The third component is the container, which stores the EPUB files in a compressed format. The container helps reduce file size and enables efficient distribution and storage of EPUB books.
EPUB files can be created using various software programs such as Adobe InDesign, Sigil, and Calibre. These tools provide authors and publishers with the ability to create, edit, and format EPUB books according to the specifications set by the IDPF. With EPUB being an open and widely adopted standard, readers can enjoy a seamless reading experience across different devices and platforms.
What is XLAM File Format?
The XLAM (Excel Add-in) file format is a specialized file format used in Microsoft Excel to store and distribute add-ins, which are additional functionalities or customizations that extend the capabilities of Excel. An XLAM file contains VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, macros, custom functions, and other elements that can enhance and automate Excel’s functionality.
XLAM files are designed to be loaded as add-ins within Excel, providing users with additional features and tools that are not available by default. These add-ins can be created by users or developers to streamline repetitive tasks, perform complex calculations, create custom functions, or interact with external systems and data sources.
One of the advantages of the XLAM format is its portability and ease of distribution. Once an XLAM file is created, it can be easily shared with others, allowing them to install and use the add-in in their own Excel environment. This makes it convenient for teams or organizations to standardize their workflows and share custom functionalities across multiple users.
XLAM files can be loaded into Excel by navigating to the “Add-ins” section in the Excel options and selecting the desired add-in file. Once loaded, the add-in’s functionality becomes available within Excel, providing users with additional features, menus, or toolbars tailored to their specific needs.
